First of all I want to apologize for not answering your question right away!
I 've been rather busy for the last days. I hope you understand!
In my opinion there is several good affiliate programs out there.
But rather than just recommending a lot of affiliate or reseller programs, I would first of all like to give you a few guidelines for choosing a good affiliate program.
Sad to say, many owners of affiliate programs treat their affiliates downright badly. But actually they would do wise to really take care of their resellers.
Think about it!
Their resellers are often taking upon themselves an enormous task. Because it’s usually much more difficult to sell another person’s or company’s product than your own.
It’s often takes A LOT of effective marketing to make a sale as a reseller!
HERE IS SOME QUESTIONS YOU WILL DO WISE TO ASK YOURSELF WHENEVER YOU CONSIDER JOINING AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM:
* Does the product I am going to sell, really interest me?
* Am I willing to spend a lot of time marketing this product or service?
* How much do I get paid?
* How often do I get paid?
* Do I get paid prompt?
* Do I have any guarantee that I get paid at all?
* What is their reputation? What do other present and (maybe also) former resellers say about them?
* Do the owners of the affiliate program have an efficient tracking mechanism?
* Do they me updated on any changes in their program?
* Is the number of people who can join affiliate program unlimited? (If it is, it can mean heavy competition for you).
* Do I need to buy the product first, before you can become an affiliate?
* Is the product I am going to sell, a top quality product?
* Does the affiliate owner provide me with good marketing material (banners, salesletter, classified ads etc.)
Besides, there are SOME WEBSITES THAT HAVE SPECIALIZED IN CRITICALLY REVIEWING AND EVALUATING THE MANY DIFFERENT AFFILIATE PROGRAMS.
By the way, most of these affiliate programs are recommended by Allan Gardyne, too!
Many of these programs are on different aspects of Internet Marketing. But there is of course many other kinds of programs.
When all comes to all, it's up to you to choose the kind of program you prefer. And I would strongly recommend that you only sign up for a program that you have a genuine interest in.
Finally, I would advice you to RATHER TRY CREATING AND SELL YOUR OWN PRODUCTS! Your chance of making a nice profit selling your own products is MUCH HIGHER than if you sell other people’s products.
Why earn a 50 percent profit on selling other people’s product when you can earn an 80, 90 or even 95 percent or higher profit by selling your own products?
Does this mean that you should never resell other people’s products or services?
NOT AT ALL!
Actually one of the real secrets of succeeding in Direct Marketing – offline and online – is to use Joint
Ventures.
But you shouldn’t rely TOO MUCH on affiliate programs! At least not as long as don’t have a solid database of good and loyal customers.
Instead you would do wise to first of all create your own products. And THEN, you can sell other peoples products to the buyers of your own products.
You can also use affiliate programs in the start of your career – until you’ve created your own products. But be careful not to use so much time marketing affiliate programs that you won’t have the time to create your own products.
IF you choose to sell affiliate programs, the right way to go, is to MAKE YOUR OWN SALESMATERIAL.
Don’t just use the material offered by the owner of the affiliate program.
Instead be UNIQUE!
Write your own salesletter or personal recommendation!
Write a small report or record an audio-tape (that corresponds with the product or service in the affiliate program) and enclose this as a bonus gift together with the product or the service in the affiliate program.
